Favorite Movies

I have a lot of "favorite movies." They're all my favorites for different reasons from each other, which makes it really hard for me to narrow the list down. One of my least favorite questions people ask me is, "What are your 5 favorite movies?" or something to that effect. Does anyone else find it impossible to only choose 5???

In any case, I've decided to make out a list of my favorite movies and which category (genre) they fall under:

Action/Adventure:

Count of Monte Cristo
Equilibrium
Minority Report
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
Matrix
Scarlet Pimpernel

Drama:
Brideshead Revisited (Jeremy Irons version)
Catch Me If You Can
The Fall
Gosford Park
In the Land of Women
Life is Beautiful
Little Women
Prestige
Sense and Sensibility

Comedy:
Mean Girls
She's the Man
Some Like it Hot
What's Up, Doc?

Romance/Romantic Comedy:
Emma (both the Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Beckinsale versions)
Never Been Kissed
Penelope
Pride and Prejudice
Return to Me
Someone Like You
While You Were Sleeping
The Young Victoria

Mystery:
Rebecca
Rear Window
The Talented Mr. Ripley

Musical:
Beauty and the Beast
Hunchback of Notre Dame
Lion King
My Fair Lady
Newsies
Slipper and the Rose
The Sound of Music

I realize that this is probably a crazy amount of favorite movies to some people, but I feel like I've really cut it down to a few that I really like from each genre. I also know that some of these films have more substance than some of the others, but I'm rating these not for their substance, but for how much I enjoy them.

  1. I like the variety you have in your favorite movies. Anytime someone can mix chick flicks with the Matrix and Equilibrium I am impressed.
